I’ve added a couple of new prints to my Etsy shop, and today the theme is PINK!

This piece is #2 in my Celtic Knot series (#1 is here). This particular knot consists of several entwined hearts, so I felt it was a good choice to represent love! The background is watercolor in pinks and purples, with touches of blue and orange for interest. The knot itself is outlined in red, with matching red dots.

This piece is #1 in my Inspirational series: Life is Sweet! Again, the background is colored in pink watercolors, with the words “Life is Sweet” over it in deep magenta. What better way to remind yourself of the joy that we have available to us here on Earth? There will be more inspirational artworks like this in the future! :)

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed a cool new innovation in the field of solar power – bacteria!

Solar cells are great for harvesting energy from the sun, but the drawback is that they have a drastic drop in efficiency on cloudy days or situations with dim light. There are certain types of bacteria that produce a natural dye that helps them convert light energy into food, and scientists had experimented with extracting this dye for use in solar technology. Extracting the dye proved difficult and costly, so they decided on a more elegant solution–putting the bacteria themselves into the solar cells!

These new solar panels are called “biogenic” because they are a hybrid of technology and nature. How cool is that?

This could be a great solution for parts of the world that would benefit from solar power, but have too many overcast days to currently…

We’ve all heard of the problems honey bees have been facing lately, and it’s imperative to our world that we protect this super important pollinator. One company has developed a unique and unexpected bee saving solution: paper!

This bee saving paper is made with a special type of sugar that is easily digestible by bees, so they can get a snack while they’re out on pollen patrol. It’s covered with UV-sensitive red spots that are highly visible to bees, and it even has seeds embedded into the fibers to grow new wildflowers after the paper decomposes!

I love seeing the positive and unique solutions people have come up with to solve some of our modern problems! Be sure to check out the maker’s website here: Bee Saving Paper

These five ribbon cutting ceremonies are inspiration for businesses moving to a new area or for startups. A ribbon cutting helps to get an introduction to the area, to local business owners and staff, and to the local community.

Here is a story about Philip Kapneck, an inspiration for the growth of ribbon cuttings for businesses, events, schools, universities, and building and arena openings.
